Radious is a mixed bag, I like it because the unit variety but I won't always play with it.
I play with a few friends and they aren't fans of it.

Mods are shit moat the time but I did download one that let's me have dimounted blood knights since they're the shit.

Speaking of mods is there a way to disable ai recruitment of the giant units in beginning of the end times?, they always crash my game.

Beastmen and WoC are neutral to each other when things start out.

No but you can do so when they pop up.

However there is a penalty Beastmen take with positive diplomacy, so they might be your only friends

>>149628814
it can be fun if you're dicking around in custom battles but it ruins the campaign if you play as them because every faction can do pretty much the same thing. It adds a variety of units at the expense of taking away what makes each faction unique.

Radious is shit, there's adding some cool units mods that are pretty good, and then there's Radious who just gives everyone the same units with a different skin or straight up plain retarded shit, him being a insufferable cunt on top of it makes me not feel bad at all for telling it like it is.

>>149633893
There is none, traitorous swines

Lore of Beasts looks pretty good. Wood Elves used to get a lot of use out of it on the tabletop, as did Bretonnia. I hope they both get access to it when they are released.

>>149634379
I hope you're prepared to fork over the jabbers if you want that kind of content in your DLC.

Won't anyone think of the developers?

>>149634773
While i'm always ready for a good jabbers meme, this doesn't really make sense. Copy pasting lores requires no work at all and is exactly the sort of lazy "design" CA loves.

>Cataph closer to tabletop tweeks and units
>Cataph bretonnian foot knights
>Mousillon City of the Damned
(I really wanted to play bretonnia)
>Cataph Molay's Magic
(tones down the magic weapons)
>Conquer Anywhere
(funny because I was all for regional occupation)

And finally a couple of cheat mods
>Tier IV minor settlements
(Not as gamebreaking as it sounds)
>More Skill points
(Definitely as game breaking as it sounds, but I found I does allow for some added customization.)
>Home region movement bonus
(Honestly might remove it, its not that important to me, I prefer to catch enemy armies via ambush)


That animated combat mod sounds interesting though, does it work even with added units?

If their leaders all take the slayers oath, seven generations down the line maybe they will be considered worth speaking to again.

That being said, dwarves are pretty 'human'. If they didnt fail their high honor standards then none would take the Slayer oath. I can imagine a dwarflord sueing for peace as opposed to watching all the women and children of his old eaten alive in front of him.

Zombies speed make them absolute garbo. As somebody else said, if you don't want a full elite army, then just use basic skeletons. They don't gimp the speed of your assault like zombies do.

Your grave guard isn't specific.
Your list in general almost completely lacks anti-armor and anti-large. With zero anti-armor and only the terrorgheist for anti-large.
They're fairly starved for it in general point cost but on the campaign you should have at least one Blood Dragon unit.
And you obviously need to take some of the grave guard with great weapons for anti-armor.

A vampire hero is stupid unless your main lord is a necromancer. Unless you want to meme cheese with more lore of death. Which is also stupid because one person casting soul leech is enough.

I'd finally cut into the overlarge theatrical stock of zombies for at least one unit of wraiths and crypt horrors. Nice utility and performance.

How's that even going to work?
The other LL starts as an AI controlled horde but you can still recruit him.
Does the other horde have a no-name lord or does the AI controlled Khazrak/Malagor horde just vanish when you recruit your non-starting LL?

>tfw no Skaven yet so we can have a proper Karak Eight Peaks mini campaign.

And now that I think about it, how will CA implement the main clans for when Skaven is eventually released? Seems like its going to a colossal cluster fuck of rat invasions everywhere.

>>149649667
I can see them occupying Holds like Dwarfs/Orcs for sure.

Maybe they'll have altered movement options like the Beastmen? So say, staying in the underway near 24/7. Being able to march/raid via it?

As for Clans they'll probably do something similar to the savage orcs, armies who only build the correct units for the Clan etc. Either that or we'll say something like the culture packs from Attila/Rome II maybe.

>>149647908
The recruitment requirement would probably be to eliminate the other horde.

None.

Anything that isn't Dwarves.

Use Grimgor to fuck somebody else up in melee combat. Greenskins aren't even my favorite race.
Otherwise on the campaign; having the Dwarves beg for peace; and either repeatedly using them as money farming serfs or betraying the peace and just wiping them out.

>>149649667

I have seen no evidence to indicate that, especially since we've been told that Lord packs contain two Lords each

DESU I realized that the way the game is setup- where new factions are physically added into the game (except Bretonnia, which is already in and should have been playable without mods from gamestart) is going to fundamentally alter gameplay

There are supposed to be non-player Beastmen armies besides the main Beastmen hordes in game- in just 2 days when CotB goes live you're suddenly going to have all these little stacks of Beastmen running around raiding you on top of all the other shit

Same with the Wood Elves once they get added

This is obviously different from the gayer, jewier additions in Rome 2 and Attila where existing factions were given some mechanics and then you had to pay for them and will overall change your playstyle a lot more

>>149661897
Kislev (and possibly Estalia and Tilea) will come around the time they run out of new races they can add into the old world but want more money and are in between expansions

So I would guess 2017, after they release the High Elves/Dark Elves/Slann expansion

Beastmen DLC is 9.99£ on GMG.

Should I?

>>149662159
That's actually a good price if you don't care about the campaign

Is that with the 20% off?

>>149662290
Campaign seems to be included as well. The features list includes Eye for an Eye

>>149662357
29% to be exact. They seem to have lowered the price, it was 11£ a few days ago.

>>149662159
For that piece it's honestly not bad.

I mean you could probably get it cheaper in a sale this Christmas if you're fine waiting.

>>149662420
I mean is that of the sale, or using the coupon? Because they might work together.

>>149662479
From what I can gather, they no longer use coupons. Instead they have "member prices", I'm guessing that the 29% off is the member price.

You mean a Lord Pack? It would have to focus on another Lord too.

>>149667008
I never build the boar sty, I just recruit savage boarboyz from global recruitment, so that's one building I don't bother with. I also don't use the troll/giant building as I prefer arachnaroks to giants (and their building gets me missile cavalry too) and trolls are underwhelming.

Also remember the engineering buildings don't boost research rate so you don't need them everywhere.

>>149667008
Get black orcs. Get Doom Divers. Everything else is simply filler units that can be useful in certain circumstances.

>>149666754

>>149667687
They're actually really damn good. They're pretty much cruse missiles in goblin form

They track targets, are armor piecing, fairly cheap, great range. Gets destroyed if anyone looks at them but that's implying they make it past the swarm of screaming missiles.

>Historical Team – Unannounced Total War Title
>Game Director - Janos Gaspar
>This team most recently released Total War: ATTILA in February 2015, which went on to become our best-selling ever follow-up title. Since that game was finalised for manufacture at the end of 2014, they’ve primarily been in the early pre-production stages of our next historically-based major release. That involves planning, scheduling and researching the period, art styles and technology we want to put into the game. They’ve recently started prototyping some feature ideas and that will be the next stage of development that will keep them busy for now. It will be some time before we reveal this title. It will be huge, it will be historic. It will not be soon. It is not worth asking any more questions about it

There are already two great mods for the human non-Empire factions
Southern Realms by Cataph
and Kislev by a COW modder
Played both. Southern Realms is great, Estalia campaign where I sent conquistadors to wreak havoc on the Orks. Faction leader spent nearly the entirety of the Chaos invasion down in hte Badlands with his royal army, while a minor general helped fight the Chaos menace

Kislev is great, full cav army shitting all over the Vargs and Skaelings. Karaz Karak is almost always a ticking timebomb, but if you get two half stack cav armies out by turn 10 or 15, you can save them and smash the Norscans.
The only problems with the Kislev mod is it has no updated tech or skill tree. Southern Realms mod has both

Even in EUIV they don't bother to model every little amerindian tribe, with total war's tendency to have a barebones number of factions you'll be lucky if they have all the native factions they had in the Med2 Americas campaign plus the Incas and a huge Tupi tribe for Brazil

If it's about the colonial era wouldn't it make sense to represent colonization?

Total war games are better at representing larger empires fighting it out, it works well for warhammer because GW never bothered to flesh out their setting in a truly meaningful way so there are only a few major factions and then subfactions

You don't understand dwarfs, then.

They are not at all "human", since they are a whole other race. A human will never hate as much as a dwarf, or keep their word as much, or hold honor above all. There is a reason the Great Book of Grudges exists.

Besides, the taking of the Slayer Oath is subjective. As long as it is a great shame for you or your clan you might take it.

>I can imagine a dwarflord sueing for peace as opposed to watching all the women and children of his old eaten alive in front of him
There is no need for that since dwarfs lock their too old, women and children in runic hidden and sealed lock that can only be opened from the outside, so, if they lose, they die of starvation rather than be captured by the enemy.

>>149671948

>resoundingly beating Blood Knights

Demi's normally lose, though it's close. And Blood Knights have infinitely superior missile resistance.

your pathetic two bloodknights must take out the artillery quick as fuck

>>149675631
Try to keep your infantry alive with Nekesh/regen.
Charge your wightking into the arti to buy time
Engage with ghouls and hammer with Blood Knights.
Pray.

when the fuck did brettonian spearmen get charge defence vs all?

You don't need to be an EB fag to understand that bronze age egyptians and roman ninjas didn't make for a very historical game

Do you enjoy sex?

Yes, I love Wessex.

>>149677332

use skellies to take knight charges and then support with grave guard

>>149677250
I don't think any other spear unit has defence vs all only large

I would rather pass splinters through my dick than fight another siege defence against VC. Against any other faction this would have been a massacre.

The stupidest shit is I'm going to go re-fight this on the field and win now.

wat. I'm already unbeatable with Greenskins.

Anyway, patch looks generally promising.

>>149677951
>That little ranged infantry

Did you at least sally out your knights at the start of the battle?

This is news to me, but holding their line is their entire purpose so i think it's fitting.

To be honest I'm glad I didn't have more ranged. They got fucking raped. You can't see it in that SS, but there were 4 more units of Vargheists reinforcing. So everything on the walls got destroyed by flying cunts. The units that I salvaged were then running around the city chasing Manfred and chipping away at his health whilst he ate about 10,000 bullets and crossbow bolts with apparently no difficulty.

>>149678120
Deal with it. If the AI brings bullshit I'm going to bring my own bullshit.

>>149678543
